Example of lengths and time horizon M for NASDAQ data (2018). The 2nd column corresponds to the number of transactions over the horizon M. These lengths are used as a reference to generate artificial series to allow a direct comparison between results obtained on real and artificial data. The 3rd column corresponds to the sampled lengths used in the calculation of the cluster entropy. The 4th and 5th columns correspond respectively to the raw and rounded time intervals obtained dividing by the series of shortest length .
